Raising A Reader MA is an early literacy and parent engagement program. Our mission is to help parents develop, practice, and maintain shared reading habits which foster their young children's vocabulary and language skills essential to reading readiness.We work throughout the state to offer a dual intervention of a book bag rotation program and parent education about interactive reading strategies, last year reaching nearly 12,000 children and their families.
The data entry volunteer will enter key information into our Salesforce database, primarily parent surveys that assess families' reading routines, and family contact that helps with recruitment for our events. (We will train you to use Salesforce - which is an increasingly important job skill!)
We have a small and friendly office and volunteers have always been an important part of our office culture. Join us!

Mission Statement
Raising A Reader MA, founded in 2006 with the support of the Greenlight Fund, aims to give every child an equal opportunity for achievement by engaging parents from low-income communities in a routine of daily book sharing with their children from birth to age five.
The early literacy skills development that Raising A Reader MA promotes is proven to impact school readiness, academic performance and lifetime achievement for children. Raising A Reader directly addresses this need, working with over 8,000 children ages 0-5 across the Commonwealth and over 107,000 children nationwide. Raising A Reader's award-winning program circulates high quality children's books into children's homes and helps children, families and early childcare providers to develop, practice and maintain the habit of sharing those books. Independent evaluations have repeatedly demonstrated that Raising A Reader's unique program engages families, builds kindergarten readiness skills and is cost effective and scalable. Raising A Reader has been named one of the top 45 social entrepreneurs changing the world by Fast Company Magazine and among top non-profits by Philanthropedia.
